【题目】Three Boys and a Dad

Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home tovisit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, hewas thinking whether to read the newspaper or watchhis favorite TV talk show on his first day off inmonths. "This will be like a walk in the park," he'dtold his wife. "I'll look after the kids, and you can go to visit your mom."

Things started well, but just after eight o'clock,his three little "good kids"-Mike, Randy, and Alex came down the stairs in their night clothes andshouted "breakfast, Daddy." When food had notappeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using hisspoon on Alex's head as if it were a drum. Alexstarted to shout loudly in time to the beat (节拍).Mike chanted "Where's my toast, where's my toast"in the background. Brad realised his newspaper wouldhave to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike woreRandy's underwear on his head. Randy locked himselfin the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because hewas going to wet his pants. Nobody could find cleansocks, although they were before their very eyes.Someone named "Not Me" had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Bradknew the talk show had already started.

By ten o'clock, things were out of control. Alexwas wondering why the fish in the jar refused hisbread and butter. Mike was trying to show off histalent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colourpencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be readingquietly in the family room, but closer examinationshowed that he was eating apple jam straight fromthe bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talkshow was over and reading would be impossible.

At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre(日托所). "I suddenly have to go into work and mywife's away. Can I bring the boys over in a fewminutes?" The answer was obviously "yes" becauseBrad was smiling.

保护地球 从懂得开始

雅克·贝汉的最新作品《地球四季》作为“中法环境月”的开幕影片在中国上映,我们特别对法国著名演员、导演、制片人雅克·贝汉进行了专访。

主持人:首先,祝贺您的影片《地球四季》在中国上映。非常感谢您接受我们的采访。二十多年来,您导演了好几部以自然为题材的影片,比如《迁徙的鸟》和《海洋》,是什么原因促使您拍摄此类影片?

雅克·贝汉:我认为本世纪初最主要的问题之一就是他者的生存:像森林的生存、大海的生存……这对我们来说很重要。如果大海消失了,如果只有企业家,只有油船,如果人类向污染低头,那太可怕了,人类就会前途无望。而且,我认为电影是令人愉悦的表演,但同时也是武器,直击人的情感。于是我告诉自己:“我们要拍摄电影,保卫大自然,保卫动物。”

主持人:说到电影,您多次强调您的作品是“影片”而非“纪录片”。请问为什么要强调这样的区别?

雅克·贝汉:“纪录片”意味着进行说教。一般来说,纪录片要向观众阐释某些观点,片中呈现的画面仅仅是为了给言论配图,但我们不是为言论配图,而是实质。我想倾听大自然:鸟儿的歌声,动物的低吼。对我来说这就是评论,生动的评论。但是,我们生活在一个令人难过的时代,我想对亲爱的观众说:注意,对我的电影做出评论,是在放映厅里看到画面时对其含义做出思考并得出结论。所以,我不愿意自己的电影被列为“纪录片”。

主持人:您的影片主角是动物,而非人物。您为什么选择了这种方式呢?

雅克·贝汉:因为大家都只讲述我们自己,拍摄与我们人类有关的电影,即便谈到动物,也不过是陪衬。(常常是)在人的场面之后,有一只小狗、小猫或小鸟经过。而我希望给动物近景,因为它们是和我们一样的完整生命。为什么对动物要做出这种区分和矮化呢?我们想过做一件事情,就是呈现仅仅只有人类的生活,没有动物。那时,将会看到人类是多么难受,生活是多么可悲,“没有比一个只有人类生存的世界更不人道的事情了”。

主持人:从《鸟的迁徙》到《海洋》再到《地球四季》,您的视野似乎越来越开阔,人和动物之间的互动越来越多。

雅克·贝汉:我认为,我们缺乏对动物深深的尊重。动物的存在不只是为了成为人类的宠物,不是为了陪伴人类,而是和我们一起,为了去除大都市的屏障,为了让我们体会到身处大自然是多么美妙的事情。

主持人:能用一句话来形容您理想中人与动物之间的关系吗?

雅克·贝汉:关系就是一方接受另一方,这一点同样适用于动物身上。如果在田野里你把一只野生动物放在家养动物旁边,野生动物不会逃跑;但是,如果把一个人放进去,所有的动物都会跑掉。现在,所有的动物都知道要害怕人类。

主持人:您是否关注过中国的环境问题?近两年来,中法合作拍摄的影片越来越多,您是否有这方面的计划?

雅克·贝汉:我认为中国还有很多功课要做,但目前已经很好了,因为如今在北京我们可以呼吸,能够看见蓝天。在欧洲也有被污染的城市,中国和美国刚刚递交了《巴黎气候协定》的批准书,表明了官方意愿。对于效果,我们拭目以待。至于合作拍摄,我知道双方都有意向和计划,并且已经开始成行。让·难克·阿诺拍摄了《狼图腾》,取得了成功经验,应该积累更多这样的经验。与此同时,还应该更开放,我愿意更多地参与到中国的环保事业中,电影就是一种如此奇妙的沟通手段。

(摘编自“中国网”2016年10月26日《中国访谈·对话世界》)

1下列对材辩有关内容的理解和分析,不正确的一项是

A.雅克·贝汉认为环境破坏是我们面临的重要问题,如果不能解决,人类前途堪忧,他拍摄电影就是为了宣传环境保护和动物保护。

B.雅克·贝汉不想让自己所拍摄影片成为阐述某些观点的纪录片,他希望自己的影片能够呈现大自然本来的面貌,引起观众思考。

C.在雅克·贝汉的影片中,动物不再是人类的陪衬而是成为了主角,这是为了告诉人们,在自然界中人类并不是真正的主角。

D.雅克·贝汉希望人和动物之间是互相接受的关系,但现实的情况却是,不仅人类对动物缺乏深深的尊重,动物也对人类十分害怕。

2下列对材料有关内容的概括及分析,最恰当的两项是

A.主持人首先祝贺《地球四季》上映,接着提出与影片题材的相关问题,既让受访者放松,感受到尊重,也让访谈得以顺畅展开。

B.雅克·贝汉在访谈中十分坦诚,感慨自己“生活在一个令人难过的时代”,这是影片主题被观众误解后,他遗憾心情的真实表现。

C.雅克·贝汉拍摄影片的视野越来越开阔,他的影片更多地关注动物与人之间的关系,这反映了他对环境问题的认知不断丰富。

D.雅克·贝汉的演员、导演和制片人经历使他对电影的认识不断深入,他认为电影不仅是表演和武器,更重要的是一种沟通手段。

E.雅克·贝汉对中国感情很深厚,他充分肯定了中国政府在环境治理问题上的努力和成效,并十分向往与中国在电影方面的合作。

3这篇访谈体现了雅克·贝汉先生哪些精神特质?请结合采访的话题谈谈你的理解。

【题目】Stamp collecting is easy when you do it as a hobby. You dont have to spend a lot of money on it. Sometimes stamps can be got from many sources(来源) for free.

Getting Started

If you have no stamps at all, you might want to buy a packet of 500 or 1,000 different worldwide stamps from a hobby shop or stamp dealer to get stared. One good choice is eBay. Try entering phrases like worldwide stamps in the searching box. However, even if you want to specialize in collecting stamps, my advice is not to spend much money on stamps in the beginning. Start off collecting stamps from many source for free until you have collected enough stamps and had enough experience.

Sorting Stamps

Assume (假设) you have some stamps and they are in paper. Before you take them from the paper, you should sort the stamps for example, by country. This is because dealing with stamps is much easier when they are on paper. When you take them off the paper, they become easy to bend, crease and tear easily.

Trimming (修剪) Stamps

Never try to take a stamp off its paper backing by pulling at it, even if it appears to be loose enough to do so. First, trim the paper around the stamp with a pair of sharp scissors making sure not to cut off the edge of the stamps. I suggest that youd better leave a quarter inch safety area from the edge of the stamp when you trim the paper before you are good at doing it.
